Private Motorized Vehicle Dependence: Exploring Access and Egress Mode Patterns of Commuter Line Passenger in Yogyakarta Urban Area

Abstract

This study attempts to investigate the phenomenon of private motorized vehicles dependence in the Yogyakarta Urban Area, focusing on access and egress modes among commuter line passengers. Three commuter line stations – Yogyakarta, Lempuyangan, and Maguwo – were opt for sampling locations. Descriptive statistics and Sankey diagram visualizations were used to analyze commuter line passenger experiences. Findings indicate that majority of respondents relied on motorcycles for egress, with 15.5% as passengers and 13% as drivers. Cars were used by 6% as passengers and 0.5% as drivers. A trip purpose analysis revealed motorcycle use for school, leisure, and work, at 0.5%, 3.5%, and 4.5% respectively. Notably, 8.5% used motorcycles exclusively within the Yogyakarta Urban Area. Additionally, 3% used motorcycles for both the first and last mile phases, indicating a double-use phenomenon. The study suggests enhancing more sustainable mode development to reduce private motorized vehicle dependence and GHG emissions.
